Multi award-winning New Zealand author Catherine Chidgey is just about to release a new book, Remote Sympathy.
It's her sixth book - earlier novels In a Fishbone Church, Golden Deeds, and The Wish Child, have all won awards, both here in New Zealand and internationally.
Like bestseller The Wish Child, Remote Sympathy is set in Nazi Germany.
It tells the story of Frau Greta Hahn, the wife of SS Sturmbannfuhrer Dietrich Hahn, who has taken up a powerful position at the Buchenwald work camp - as its administrator.
Catherine Chidgey has a degree in German and spent three years living in Berlin, but is now based in Ngaruawahia, and teaches writing at Waikato University.
